Many people love to stay by the beach because of its perfect positioning — close to the area of the city with some of the best clubs, bars and restaurants and along the stunning coastline promenade. You can easily reach other parts of the city from anywhere along the beach. While you consider a coastline view, the old port of Jaffa has some of the most incredible outlooks on the whole city. Jaffa’s old market, ancient ruins and lively character make for a unique rental experience.

Heart Of The City

If you’re not committed to a beach view, there are other very stylish and luxurious parts of the city, like Dizengoff Street and Ibn Gabirol Street in the center of the city. You can really feel the livelihood of the city from the center, and you can see far more of the culture and historical areas this way.

Where To Look And Book

You can view pictures and contact the owner or manager of the property to discuss the details. This may not provide the most luxurious options, but if you’re on a tight budget, this is a good place to start.
